Biography

Growing up in the Bakersfield area, David Silveria started playing drums when he was nine. At the age of 13, he found out that local band L.A.P.D. (which consisted of Brian Welch, James Shaffer and Reginald Arvizu) was searching for a drummer. He auditioned and was chosen, but needed permission from his mother to go with the band. In fact, she would often drop him off and pick him up from practices. When Jonathan Davis joined the band, they changed the name to KoЯn and Welch, Shaffer and Arvizu took up pseudonyms, while Silveria and Davis remained using their given names. L.A.P.D. (Love And Peace Dude, later Laughing As People Die) was an American rock band that is best known for being comprised of the would-be members of Korn (with the exception of Jonathan Davis who, prior to Korn, was in another American rock band, Sexart). ...

Silveria divorced his wife Shannon in 2002, going so far as covering up a tattoo of her name with a huge tribal tattoo, which is reported to look like a vagina. He has two children, David Jr. and Sofie Aurora.

Silveria had to undergo surgery to remove an extra rib which was causing nerve problems in his left arm. His wrist gave out in Fargo, ND during the song "It's Gonna Go Away". He sat out the rest of the "Sick and Twisted 2000" and "Summer Sanitarium Tours". Mike Bordin filled in for him. Silveria then returned for the album recording or Untouchables and some performances since (Silveria's own explanation for the issue is that "I hit too fucking hard"). Mike Bordin (born Michael Andrew Bordin, November 27, 1962 in San Francisco, California) was the co-founder and drummer of Faith No More and is now playing with Ozzy Osbourne. ... Untouchables is the fifth album by Korn. ...

Considered the "heartthrob" of Korn, Silvera has had a few modeling stints,also the most memorable one being for Calvin Klein jeans, which apparently caused him to strike a nerve with the band Slipknot in 2000. Slipknot protested by burning copies of the ad onstage at several of their subsequent shows (Jay Gordon of Orgy also being one of the models). It is understood that Korn and Slipknot have since reconciled, as they toured together in 2004 at a UK Festival, and members of Slipknot are reported to have said they appreciate what Korn has done for their genre of music and themselves as a band.
